Alfred Pennyworth | Batman Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Pre-Crisis Alfred in the Batcave Alfred was a retired intelligence agent who followed the deathbed wish of his dying father, Jarvis, to carry on the tradition of serving the Wayne Family. To that end, Alfred introduced himself to Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson at Wayne Manor and insisted on becoming their butler. Although the pair did not want one, especially since they did not want to jeopardize their secret identities with a servant in the house, they did not have the heart to reject Alfred. That night, Alfred awoke to moaning and followed the sound to the secret door to the staircase to the Batcave and met his would-be employers in their superhero identities (Wayne had been injured while out in the field). As it turned out, the wounds were actually insignificant, but Alfred's care convinced the residents that their butler could be trusted. Since then, Alfred included the support staff duties of the Dynamic Duo on top of his regular tasks. Later, Alfred was reunited with his long-lost daughter, Julia Remarque .

Alfred in his youth, raising a young Bruce. In addition, he was Bruce's legal guardian following the deaths of his parents. Alfred's history has been modified several times over the years, creating assorted versions. In one such version, Alfred was hired away from the British Royal Family by Bruce's parents, and he virtually raised Bruce after they were murdered. Meanwhile, another version of Alfred's Post-Crisis life was slightly more closely linked to his pre-Crisis counterpart. In this version Alfred was an actor on the English Stage, who agreed to become the Waynes' butler, only so as to honor the dying wish of his father. At the time he begins working for the Waynes, Bruce is but a young child. After several months, Alfred voices the desire to quit and return home to continue his life as an actor.

Alfred teaches Bruce to handle the bully strategically, rather than using brute force.

Following Alfred's advice, Bruce manages to take care of his bully problem. Upon returning home, Bruce requests that Alfred stays, and Alfred agrees without a second thought. Following the Infinite Crisis however it appears that Alfred's history has been merged to combine both his pre and post-Crisis histories. He spent years as a member of the British Guard and later became a member of MI-5 before retiring and taking up his love of acting. Following his father's death, he then became the Wayne Family Butler. Whether or not the rest of his history has remained the same or has been yet again altered has not yet been revealed, although it has been occasionally hinted at. Following the murders of the Wayne Family, Alfred was named Bruce's legal guardian in the will left by Thomas and Martha, however, social services combated the will feeling that Bruce should not be raised by a servant.

Alfred often acts as a father-figure to Bruce, and a grandfather to Dick, Jason, Tim and Cassandra. However, due to his rather cold personality, Bruce Wayne makes sure that at least some degree of the business relationship between the two always exists. He is also highly respected by those heroes who are aware of his existence, including Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and the original Teen Titans. Alfred has also been romantically linked to Dr. Leslie Thompkins, though his relationship with her never came to anything beyond occasional dates, particularly after she apparently allowed Stephanie Brown to die from neglect. He also developed feelings for Tim Drake's stepmother, but again, nothing came out of it. During the events of Knightquest, Alfred accompanies Wayne to England and becomes enraged when Wayne insists on endangering his own health while paraplegic. This was the culmination of several weeks of Wayne's self-destructive behavior, and when Wayne returns to Gotham, Alfred remains in England, tendering his resignation. He spends some time vacationing in Antarctica and The Bahamas before returning to England.

Dick Grayson tracks him down several months later and convinces him to return to Wayne Manor. In that story, it was revealed he had walked out of his own wedding years earlier. His resourcefulness came to the fore in the No Man's Land storyline, especially in Legends of the Dark Knight #118. Batman is missing for weeks, leaving Alfred alone to watch his city for him. He uses his skills as an actor, storyteller, medic, and spy to survive and collect information on the recently destroyed society. Alfred even uses hand-to-hand combat in a rare one-panel fight sequence between him and a pair of slavers that ends with his rescue by Batman. At a point in which Commissioner Gordon was shot and nearly killed, Alfred took notice that Bruce was behaving increasingly out of sorts. Feeling that Bruce had pushed his entire family as far away as possible, Alfred gave Bruce his resignation and left his employment. Alfred, however, continued to work with the Bat-family, going with Tim to the Brentwood Academy for Boys, working as his butler. Following Bruce being accused of murdering a girlfriend (actually executed by David Cain), Alfred returned to Bruce's employment.

In Batman #677, agents of Batman's mysterious enemy the Black Glove attack and beat Alfred in front of Bruce and Jezebel Jet, severely injuring him. In the same issue, a reporter from The Gotham Gazette suggests to Commissioner Gordon that Alfred may be Bruce's biological father and that this may be a reason for the murder of Martha Wayne. Alfred later denies the entire story, agreeing with Bruce that it was a fabrication. Alfred is the last member of the Bat-Family to see Bruce alive, prior to his reported death at the hands of Darkseid . Alfred of Earth One Graphic Novel In Batman And The Outsiders Special, Alfred is seen apologizing at the grave's of Thomas and Martha Wayne at the loss of Bruce, commenting that he grieves as a parent, regarding Bruce as his son. Later, a secret panel in Alfred's room opens, the result of a failsafe planted by Bruce in the event of his death. Bruce leaves his one final task, and also gives him an emotional goodbye, telling Alfred he considered him as a father.

Alfred then assembled a new team of Outsiders, now under his control, while continuing to serve as the Wayne family butler to Bruce's adopted children: Dick Grayson, Tim Drake, Cassandra Cain and eventually, Damian Wayne.

Let's look back on the other men who have played the role. Alfred Pennyworth | DC Alfred Pennyworth of : Close X Whether it’s the help he receives on the Gotham streets from Robin, Batgirl and Nightwing, the legitimacy provided to his crusade by Commissioner Gordon or the super-powered backup brought in by his colleagues in the Justice League, Batman has a lot of friends. But only one of them has stood alongside the Caped Crusader since childhood: his loyal butler, Alfred Pennyworth. Bruce’s life wasn’t the only one that was changed with the squeeze of that gunman’s trigger.

A family friend and faithful butler, whose father had served as the Waynes’ butler before him, Alfred took on the responsibility of raising young Bruce after the murder of his parents. Caring deeply for the Wayne family, Alfred knew that the best way to honor the legacy of Thomas and Martha Wayne was ensuring their son grew into the man they would have wanted. He tried to mold the angry, confused boy into a savvy businessman who would be well-suited to take over his father’s business. But Bruce had a far different way of honoring his parents in mind, and when he adopted the cowl, Alfred came along for the ride, tirelessly guarding his employer’s secret while providing some much-needed assistance. Whether it’s skilled technical support, medical aid or simply managing the complicated schedule that comes with being a business leader, nighttime vigilante and wealthy playboy—it’s all under the purview of Mr. Pennyworth. Driven by love and an unwavering sense of loyalty, Alfred nevertheless worries deeply about Bruce. He understands the importance of Batman to a city such as Gotham, but after a lifetime of raising Bruce, he still sees a young, scared boy where most see a hardened hero.

And every night the bat-signal flashes across the city skyline is another night that boy will spend searching for a way to undo something that could never be undone. A search that Alfred realizes could very well lead to his end. Alfred Pennyworth - Superhero Wiki Encyclopedia Alfred Pennyworth Known Relatives: Wilfred (brother); Daphne (niece) Height: 6' First Appearance: (Original): Batman #16 (April-May 1943) (Modern): Batman #401 (November 1986) Summary Alfred Thaddeus Crane Pennyworth is a supporting character in the DC Comics ' Batman series. Created by writer Bob Kane and artist Jerry Robinson , he first appeared in Batman #16 (April-May 1943). Alfred serves as Batman’s tireless butler, assistant, confidante, somewhat of a father figure and has been called "Batman's batman ." In the current DC Comics continuity , Alfred looked after Bruce Wayne after the death of his parents. Alfred also provides comic relief , as his sometimes sarcastic cynical character often adds humour to dialog occurring between himself and the obsessed Batman.

An important part of the Batman mythos, Alfred has appeared in most other media adaptations of the character. Fictional character biography When Alfred first appeared, he was overweight and clean-shaven. However, when the 1943 Batman serial was released, William Austin , the actor who played Alfred, was trim and sported a thin mustache . DC editors wanted the comic Alfred to resemble his cinematic counterpart, so in Detective Comics #83 (January 1944), Alfred vacationed at a health resort, where he slimmed down and grew a moustache. This look has remained with the character ever since, even surviving his deathDetective Comics #328 in 1964 and resurrection.' Detective Comics #356 in 1966 Alfred was originally conceived as a comedic foil for Batman and Robin . In most early tales, he made bumbling attempts to be a detective on a par with the young masters. He was given a four-page feature of his own, Batman #22 (April-May 1944) and the feature lasted ten issues.

Batman #32 (December 1945-January 1946) The stories followed a simple formula with Alfred somehow managing to solve a crime and catch the culprits entirely by accident. After that, the comedic aspects of the character were downplayed. Pre-Crisis The Pre-Crisis comics (i.e., comics published by DC Comics between 1938 and 1986) established Alfred as a retired actor and intelligence agent who followed the deathbed wish of his dying father, Jarvis, to carry on the tradition of serving the Wayne family. To that end, Alfred introduced himself to Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson at Wayne Manor and insisted on becoming their butler. Although the pair did not want one, especially since they did not want to jeopardize their secret identities with a servant in the house, they did not have the heart to reject Alfred. Initially, Alfred discovered their identities by accident. While fighting a burglar in Batman #16 (Alfred's first appearance), he accidentally hit a switch and opened a sliding panel leading to the Batcave. This was revised in Batman #110 (September 1957).

His first night at Wayne Manor, Alfred awoke to moaning and followed the sound to the secret door to the staircase to the Batcave and met his would be employers in their superhero identities (Batman had been injured while out in the field). As it turned out, the wounds were actually insignificant, but Alfred's care convinced the residents that their butler could be trusted. Since then, Alfred included the support staff duties of the Dynamic Duo on top of his regular tasks. Ironically, Alfred's loyalty would lead him to become a member of Batman's rogue's gallery. While pushing Batman and Robin out of the way of a falling boulder, Alfred was seemingly killed in Detective #328 (June 1964). It was revealed in Detective #356 (October 1966) that he had been revived by a scientist named Brandon Crawford. His attempt at regeneration resulted in a dramatic change: Alfred awoke from his apparent death with pasty white skin with circular markings, superhuman powers, including telekinesis , and a desire to destroy Batman and Robin.

Calling himself The Outsider, he indirectly battled the Dynamic Duo on a number of occasions, using others as his puppets – the Grasshopper Gang in Detective #334, Zatanna in Detective #336, and even the Batmobile itself in Detective #340 – and generally only appeared as a mocking voice over the radio. He did not physically appear in the comics until Detective #356, when he is bathed again in the rays of the regeneration machine during a struggle with Batman, and returns to normal, with no memory of his time as a supervillain. His time as the Outsider is put together in Showcase presents: Batman Volumes 1 & 2. Alfred was later reunited with his long-lost daughter, Julia Remarque, though this element was not included in Post-Crisis comics. Her mother was the DC war heroine Mademoiselle Marie , whom Alfred had met while working as an intelligence agent in occupied France during the Second World War. Post-Crisis In the Post-Crisis comics' continuity , Alfred has been the Wayne Family butler all of Bruce's life, and had helped his master establish his superhero career from the beginning.

Alfred even uses hand-to-hand combat in a rare one-panel fight sequence between him and a pair of slavers that ends with his rescue by Batman. Name Alfred introduced himself as the son of a butler named Jarvis in one of his early appearances, and the convention being that British butlers are known by their surnames , it was unclear whether Jarvis was his father's first or last name, the latter case which would have made Alfred's name Alfred Jarvis. His name was later given officially as Alfred Beagle. Detective Comics #96 (February 1945) This name was subsequently given to the an alternate version of the character from the world of Earth-Two, and Pennyworth became Alfred's accepted surname in the mainstream continuity.Batman #216 (1969) Alfred has also used the alias “Thaddeus Crane”, which is derived from his middle names.Batman #92 (June 1955) His full name of Alfred Thaddeus Crane Pennyworth was depicted on his tombstone in Superman/Batman : Generations.

The Beagle surname was brought back into continuity (post- Crisis on Infinite Earths but pre- Infinite Crisis ) as Alfred's original name as an actor and Cold War spy. He adopted the "Pennyworth" surname after his brief intelligence career, based on a comment from his handler that his life wasn't even worth a penny (in reference to a cyanide pill concealed within a fake penny). It has been suggested that Edwin Jarvis , the Avengers' butler, was named for the first name given to Alfred. Skills, resources and abilities Alfred primarily keeps-up day-to-day operations of Batman’s home of Wayne Manor and maintains much of the equipment of the Batcave beneath it. A former actor, he can use his acting skills to help Batman in the field when necessary, and is even capable of impersonating Bruce Wayne on the telephone convincingly. He has also provided first aid up to and including suturing wounds and removing bullets, as well as occasional tactical support. While not as skilled at hand-to-hand combat as Bruce Wayne, Alfred is still nearly as resourceful. During a time at which he was kidnapped, he readily escapes and overcomes his captors without disturbing the cut of his suit.

It was later mentioned that he had been kidnapped unsuccessfully 27 times (it should be noted, however, that these events take place in the Gotham Adventures comics, based on the animated adventures of Batman, and not within the standard DCU continuity).Batman: Gotham Adventures #16 Presumably due to his lack of superpowers, the advanced combat training Bruce's other associates have, and Alfred's age, Alfred is the only member of the " Batman Family " that Bruce does not mind using a firearm , in his case favoring a shotgun . In the 1960's TV series Batman Alfred was skilled in swordsmanship and archery. Current issues of the various Batman comics seem to indicate that Alfred is a pioneer in and has also mastered several fields of computer programming , computer engineering , electrical engineering , chemical engineering , mechanical engineering , nanotechnology , and biotechnology as he single-handedly builds, programs, and maintains much of the Batman's next-generational technology such as the Batcomputer .

Michael Gough portrayed Alfred in the movies Batman ( 1989 ), Batman Returns ( 1992 ), Batman Forever ( 1995 ), and Batman and Robin ( 1997 ). In Batman & Robin, he was visited by his niece, Barbara Wilson, who becomes Batgirl . He is also a skilled technologist, as he programs his brain algorithms into the Batcomputer.

Michael Caine portrays Alfred in the movie Batman Begins and its sequel The Dark Knight . Despite Bruce Wayne's lifelong rebellion and frequent departure from home as shown in the film, Alfred never loses faith in his master.

Animation Olan Soule provided the voice of Alfred in The Batman/Superman Hour . Alfred also appeared in the Super Friends series.

Bill Callaway provided the voice of Alfred in the Challenge of the Super Friends , while presumably another voice actor (likely Andre Stojka ) provided his voice in The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians episode "The Fear," which is widely regarded as the best episode of the series. Clive Revill provided Alfred's voice on Batman: The Animated Series for the character's first three appearances in the first season before he had to leave due to a previous commitment. Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. provided Alfred's voice on Batman: The Animated Series (replacing Revill), Justice League and Static Shock . This version of Alfred combines elements from pre-Crisis and post-Crisis continuities; Alfred has been serving the Wayne family since before Thomas Wayne 's death and helped his young charge assume the Batman identity, but was also revealed to be a former agent for the British intelligence agency MI-6 . Alastair Duncan provides Alfred's voice on the animated TV series The Batman . In this incarnation, Alfred's grandfather served Penguin's family in England , but was mistreated and then fired.

Current Events Alfred Pennyworth has been told to "Take a vacation" by Bruce Wayne after the butler let Damian Wayne out of the Batcave, resulting in the Death of the young boy. Character Evolution Golden Age Golden Age Alfred During the Golden Age, Alfred was this bumbling, fat, amateur detective. He always tries to help Batman but ends up doing something stupid or messing up the case.

However, in the 1943 Batman serial William Austin played Alfred as a thin man, with a mustache and spoke in a dignified English accent. So the writers wrote a story where they sent Alfred to a health spa where he lost his weight and grew a mustache. Alfred's origin was also in a jumble or mix up, and as Denny O'Neil once stated "continuity wasn't a problem those days, the Batman I did and the one Julius Schwartz were very different" (this was after the golden age). Alfred had two origins: One was that he raised Bruce Wayne since his parents were murdered and the second was that he came into Bruce Wayne's life after Bruce had adopted Dick. Alfred lived with the Waynes for months without knowing they were Batman and Robin. One night, Alfred heard a screaming coming from the old grandfather clock, he opened and discovered the entrance to the Batcave and Dick Grayson as Robin with an injured and unmasked Batman. Dick was yelling for Alfred and he helped Batman back to his full health (The latter one was used during the Silver Age with the addition of him being an actor and fought in World War 2).

Note: The original name for Alfred in the Golden Age was Alfred Beagle. This name was kept for Earth-Two continuity. With the results of Crisis on Infinite Earths the characters were merged and "Beagle" was forgotten. Silver Age Denny O'Neil and Neal Adams were offered the chance to work on Batman and clean him up and in a way bring him back from the dead. O'Neil read up on the old Batman stories and wrote Batman in stories that made him a detective, a brooding and emotionally cracked Batman who hung in the shadows and patrols the streets for crime rather than wait for the Bat signal. They also had Dick move to college. Batman also moved to his penthouse at the Wayne Foundation building and created a new Batcave underneath it. They also tried to minimize suspicions that Batman was homosexual. To do this, they killed off Alfred. How? Batman and Robin were on a mountain when a huge boulder was pushed off to kill them. Alfred pushed Batman and Robin out of the way and he himself got crushed. Dick Grayson's Aunt Harriet was used as Alfred's replacement (she first appeared in the 60s Batman television show). Alfred was later resurrected by a scientist named Dr. Brandon Crawford.

Crawford used a regeneration machine and brought Alfred back. However, Alfred's physical appearance changed into a pasty skinned, rock patterned being with a desire to kill Batman and Robin. He now called himself the Outsider and used his telekinetic powers on Zatanna , the Grasshopper Gang, and the Batmobile to attack Batman. Batman and the Outsider later met and fought. Batman discovered it was Alfred and during their fight, the Outsider got pushed into the same regeneration machine and returned to normal as Alfred. Alfred did not remember any of his time as Outsider. He then returned to the Wayne Household as their butler again. Post-Crisis Alfred's history was changed little after the Crisis On Infinite Earths. Alfred's real name is Alfred Beagle, during his days as a British Intelligent agent, he changes it to Alfred Pennyworth. Alfred later leaves the government and becomes an actor and a make-up artist. Alfred's mother approved of Alfred's decision of becoming an actor. However, his father wanted to continue the Pennyworth tradition of becoming a butler. Finally, Alfred's father was about to die and Alfred swore that he would continue the family tradition.

Alfred left England to serve the Wayne Family. Upon arriving at the Manor, Thomas Wayne greeted him and as Alfred introduce himself, it is obvious that young Bruce was admiring him. Bruce offered to carry his suit cases but they were too heavy for him. Alfred: (smiles) It seems that young Master Bruce, I believe, has so much to learn. Bruce: (trying to lift the bags) The first thing <urf> I want to learn is your funny way of talking! (Bruce's parents and Alfred are laughing) Some time later, Alfred helps young Bruce after a bully starts bullying him and teaches Bruce to think with his head rather than fists. Alfred was thinking about leaving when Bruce asked him not to go, when the Waynes were murdered Alfred decided to stay. Alfred raises young Bruce Wayne together with Dr. Leslie Tompkins. Later, Bruce decided to travel abroad and Alfred stayed at Wayne Manor and gets into a little romance with Dr. Leslie Tompkins. One night, when Bruce Wayne goes out on his first night, Alfred is fast asleep. He hears a sound and wakes up to follow a trail of blood. He hears the sound of shattering glass and the bell ringing.

Bruce was in his chair bleeding and a bat has crashed through the window. Alfred nurses Bruce's wounds. In a story titled 'Waiting in the Wings', Alfred informs Bruce that he will be leaving the Wayne Manor. One night, before Alfred leaves, some of Bruce's friends come to visit him. However, Bruce is already out as Batman. Bruce's friends watch a t.v. news report, a street gang kidnaps the son of their rival they gather on the roof top with explosives. The roof top is that of the old theater where Bruce saw The Mark Of Zorro before his parents were murdered. Batman battles the crooks while his friends gasp at some of the injuries Batman suffers and Alfred tries to stay in character. Batman saves the boy and hands him over to the police. He says to them, "Take care of the boy". Bruce's friends thought it sounded like Bruce but Alfred says that Bruce's voice is half an octave lower. A phone rings and Bruce's friends answer it, it was Bruce who says he can't come because of bad traffic. The guests leave and Alfred faces a critically injured Batman.

The next morning, Alfred calls some of Bruce's friends and speaks in Bruce's voice and tells them he has to go out of town for a while. Alfred tells Bruce that he sent off Bruce's guests last night by mimicking his voice on the telephone. Bruce tells him, "Alfred, as your father was to my father, you will never be just a butler". Alfred walks out of the room with Batsuit and his shadow forming the Bat logo. Major Story Arcs Knightfall and Knight Quest A new masked criminal named Bane frees all of Arkham Asylum in hope of weakening Batman. When Batman was finally weakened, Bane broke into Wayne Manor, after discovering Batman's secret identity, and fought with the physically and spiritually weakened Batman. Alfred picked up a gun and tried to shoot Bane. The fight between Bane and Batman took them to the Batcave where Bane delivered the killing blow, breaking Batman's spine. Alfred then faced the biggest challenge of his career. The sheer amount of bullet holes, broken bones and knife wounds was too much even for him. Batman lay near the brink of death and Alfred desperately calls Dr.

Shondra Kinsolving who uses her healing powers to repair some of Bruce's injuries. Alfred spent tiring and sleepless nights to take care of Bruce. Bruce then gives the mantle of Batman to Azrael . One night, while Azrael was out as Batman with Tim, Bruce decided to tell Shondra that he is Batman. He learns from her assistant that she was in Jack Drake's house (who was paralyzed too). Alfred was asleep and Bruce did not want to wake him. Bruce wheeled over in his wheelchair to the Drakes house (it was next door). He spotted an armed guard and attacked him with a tree bark. Already tired he went over to the house to see both Shondra and Jack Drake being kidnapped. Bruce did his best and attacked the kidnappers. Bruce attacks one of them and breaks his nose, but the guy attacks back and Bruce is lying helpless on the ground as the kidnappers escape. Alfred comes in time to help Bruce. Bruce later goes out to find Shondra. He travels to Santa Prisca with Alfred. While there Bruce talks about his failure and not being strong enough. Alfred tells Bruce that he had done something far more expected from a normal man.

Bruce says that the pep talk is unnecessary. After discovering that Bane was not responsible for the kidnapping, Bruce concluded that Shondra may have been the primary target and not Jack Drake. Bruce checks on Shondra's past and finds out about a man named Benedict Asp. Asp's past was a mystery and his files were closed by the order of M.I.5 the Secret Service. In London, The vigilante named The Hood captures a gang bringing in cigarettes illegally. He then shines his signal into the air and suddenly a bat signal lights up next to it. The Hood follows it and meets with Batman. Batman asks for his help, and is willing to pay. The Hood says that he doesn't work for money. Batman tells him it's not money, rather the location and arrival of a drug shipment. The Hood asks whether he really is Batman. Batman challenges him to a fight and Alfred, who is hiding, sighs. The Hood tells him it's alright and that he can sense something in Batman's voice. Batman tells him to break into the headquarters of M.I.5 and steal the files regarding Benedict Asp. The Hood agrees and swings away.

Batman almost falls to the ground since he was strapped to a flag pole the entire time and was burning with pain even then. He then changes into a civilian clothes and leave to the hotel with Alfred. Meanwhile, Shondra is being held in a dungeon by Benedict Asp along with Jack Drake . Asp brings with him Colonel Vega and his assistant. Asp needs Shondra for an experiment he is conducting and when she denies, Asp punches and tortures Drake who was still paralyzed. Shondra reluctantly agrees. She tells Asp that he used to abhor violence. Asp tells her he still does. The Hood breaks into the M.I.5 headquarters and steals the files regarding Asp. Meanwhile, Bruce is exercising in order to heal quickly.

Early on in his career as Batman, Dick has massive amounts of self doubt, not thinking he'd be able to live up to the standards Bruce set as Batman. Alfred cleverly suggests that Dick play to his strengths. He reminds Dick that he comes from a family of performers, and should see the mantle of Batman is simply a role.

After putting the body into the pit, Dick soon finds that the body was not that of Bruce Wayne's but one of the clones created by Darkseid during Final Crisis. After fighting off Dick along with Batwoman, Knight, and Squire, the clone instinctively flies a plane back to Gotham and confronts Alfred and Damian. The impromptu duo attempt to fight off the Batman clone and survive long enough for Dick and Batwoman to show up and defeat it. Realizing that Bruce Wayne's body was never actually recovered, Alfred, Dick, and Damian all come to the conclusion that Tim Drake was right, Bruce Wayne is not dead. Thanks to artifacts and other clues found by Tim, it is discovered that Bruce is actually lost in time thanks to the Omega Sanction Darkseid used on him.

Alfred, Dick and Damian then begin to investigate Wayne manor searching for any clues Bruce may have left in the past.

However before that occurred, he had Tommy Elliot (who was still in disguise as Bruce Wayne) play the role as billionaire playboy. However when the plan had failed, it only gave Vicki more questions. Alfred eventually took Tommy back to the prison that was specially designed for him. At the mansion, Alfred didn't deny that Bruce Wayne was Batman, and when Alfred gained the chance he swapped Vicki's evidence with a toy.
